Goes to show, whatever goes on the interwebs is never really old and is always fair game to be read. (If you’re a kid and post some teenaged-rant online before your brain is fully developed, be careful. In the future you may mature, you may find new and better information and — god-forbid — change […]
Love it when science (or at least people smarter than me) comes to my aide to shore-up one of my long-held beliefs (even if said belief had no substantial reason to be held). That belief: Kids and dirt is a good thing. When I was a youngster, like before I was five years old, I […]
Hey, it’s the week after July 4 and all I can say to all you who were on vacation, “Why did you come back so early?” While you were gone, enjoying yourselves on the lakes and woods, and cottages and cabins and hotel suites, the world of non-vacation takers took advantage of your absence. The […]
Much to my chagrin, for the past — oh what, two weeks? — people have celebrated American independence with fireworks and much merriment. While I dig the feeling of celebrating American independence every day of the year, I can do without an entire summer of explosions. (Insert “Signed with with love, Cranky Old White Dude” […]
What’s going on, you ask? Well, it’s been an interesting couple of weeks for your hero (and in case you forgot, that’s me). First to mind has been the attempts at herding cats, which as everyone knows, is no easy endeavor. Yup, it’s been over 10 days since we “lost” our server at work. Now, […]

Fake news! Canadians burning down the White House! Guns cause kids to kill! 45,000 suicides yearly in the US! He’s an idiot! She’s a racist! I don’t know about you folks, but my over-worked brains needs a break. I need time to ponder the issues that really matter to everyday Americans. Addams Family or The […]
This weekend went to son Sean’s high school graduation ceremonies. Our youngest is now taking his first steps of young adulthood like many in the ever-lovin’ Class of 2018. With pomp and circumstance they walked down aisles with robes and caps. Tassels have been tussled from right to left. Graduated. Woo-hoo and congratulations. Now your […]
Monday was Memorial Day. Now that we are all back to home and work, and since everybody else wrote about Memorial Day before Memorial Day, I thought I’d do it differently. I’ll do mine after Memorial Day! I first ran this column in 2003, and since then – every year around this time – some […]
By the time you all read this, the 33rd annual Clarkston Community Awards banquet will be just another event that is over and done with, only to be recalled by honorees and those who read about it in their local newspaper. (Yeah, I got an award — Biz Dude of The Year — and here […]
